Yes, that motor was legal in SE when it came out in 1975

Pretty sure that's a regular 65. The special ones had red decals and I think the front had no chrome color.

There was a special short shaft gearshift Merc with 3 carbs instead of 2. That's what they are wondering about. Rated 90 hp instead of 65.

No, Ray I don't think that is my boat. Mine looks like it was made round nosed and sawed off. My deck does not taper down at the front ... just straight up and down flat between the deck and bottom...

Here are the pics Ray was kind enough to send me:

Next summer in Clayton NY, there is the biannual Antique Raceboat Regatta. It would be a good place to have a get together of old OPC stuff & racers. Jim Hunt, Kenny Kitson and Rich Luhrs showed up...

On...

Since I can never find the pics on my hard drive:
